21 year old Katy B has taken the UK by storm with her debut album, On A Mission, landing the #2 spot on the charts (only behind the juggernaut that is Adele’s 21). Her classic underground breakout anthem “Katy On A Mission” contains a lurching, slashing, nasty rhythm, somewhere between dubstep and grime. An evocation of both the pleasure and the danger at the heart of the best club nights out. And, crucially, a girl’s voice. This digital DJ promo features remixes of “Katy On A Mission,” “Lights On” feat. Ms. Dynamite, “Easy Please Me,” and “Broken Record” by Skream, Claude VonStroke, Roska, Zinc, Girl Unit, and Jacques Greene.

The first in a series of EPs via her own label, Gofunkyourself Records, Nikka Costa‘s Pro*Whoa! delves into a stoney, indie pop realm while keeping her lauded, soulful vocals intact. Her unfettered approach stems from this being her first independent release free from major label directives. This digital DJ promo features the rock infused lead single “Nylons In A Rip,” the title track that sounds as if she was inspired by early Beastie Boys and then put in a blender with Peaches and Amanda Blank, plus a remix of “Ching Ching Ching” by Richard Vission. Watch Nikka streaking on her YouTube channel, Nikka’s Box.
